Greg McKegg has signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Carolina Hurricanes.

McKegg can earn $715,000 at the NHL level. He had two goals and four points in 26 games with the Pittsburgh Penguins last season. He also recorded 14 goals and 35 points in 47 AHL contests. Wed, Jul 11, 2018 05:52:00 PM

The Carolina Hurricanes have picked up Greg McKegg from the Pittsburgh Penguins in exchange for Josh Jooris.

McKegg had only two goals and four points in 26 games for Pittsburgh before they sent him to the minors on December 6. He could get a chance with the Hurricanes at some point but has no fantasy value. Mon, Feb 26, 2018 03:37:00 PM

Jordan Staal (concussion) has been doing some skating on his own over the last five days.

Staal hasn't been back on the ice with his teammates yet, though, even in a no-contact capacity. "At least he's out there and starting to feel a little better, so that's a positive," coach Rod Brind'Amour said this past Friday. Staal has missed the last 12 games with lingering symptoms from a concussion.

Lucas Wallmark scored twice and added an assist in a 7-4 win over Edmonton.

Wallmark is seeing bottom-six minutes but made the most of them Sunday as he scored his fifth and sixth of the season as well as his 11th assist. Wallmark scored on the power play as well as an empty net goal. He has little fantasy value.

Andrei Svechnikov had a goal and two assists as the rookie had his best game to date as an NHLer Sunday.

Svechnikov had been having his troubles before Sunday's game with only one goal in his previous 14 games and no assists but he broke out in a big way with the three point effort. The 18-year-old was taken second overall by the Hurricanes and has 12 goals and 22 points this season. We cannot recommend him this season in any but the deepest of pools but he should be on someone's roster in all keeper leagues.

Warren Foegele scored a goal in Friday's 4-1 loss to the Ottawa Senators.

Foegele cut the Senators' lead to 3-1 at the 11:24 mark of the second period, when he banked a shot off Sens goalie Anders Nilsson and in. But that's the only offense his team could muster on Friday night. The 22-year-old now has six goals and three assists in 47 games this season. He doesn't need to be owned in any fantasy format.

Saku Maenalanen scored a couple of goals in Tuesday’s 6-2 loss to the New York Rangers.

Brett Howden had the bad turnover in the slot, right to Maenalanen who buried the puck to tie things up midway through the first period. Things went downhill from there however, with the Rangers scoring the game’s next four goals before Maenalanen added his second of the night midway through the final frame. The 24-year-old winger finds himself at four goals and five points in nine games this season.

Teuvo Teravainen has signed a five-year, $27 million contract extension with the Carolina Hurricanes.

Teravainen's new deal, which goes through the 2023-24 campaign, will have an average annual value of $5.4 million per season. "Teuvo has improved every year of his NHL career and has established himself as a cornerstone forward for the Hurricanes now and into the future," said GM Don Waddell. "He has shown that he is capable of adapting and expanding his role with our team, becoming a key penalty killer for Rod this season. He's still just 24 years old and we believe he will only continue to grow as a player." He generated 64 points in 82 games last season and has 39 points through 48 matches this year.

Nino Niederreiter scored two goals in Sunday’s 7-4 win over the Edmonton Oilers.

Niederreiter opened the scoring after Sebastian Aho found him trailing into the zone, firing off a quick shot to beat Cam Talbot. Carolina’s new Swiss winger then ended Talbot’s night, this time doing great work to out-muscle an Oiler before sneaking one through Talbot’s pads, jumping out to a 3-0 lead. It’s the 26-year-old’s first two goals as a Hurricane, bringing him to 11 goals and 25 points in 48 games this season.

Brock McGinn notched one goal and one assist in Sunday's 5-4 win over Ottawa.

McGinn gave the Hurricanes a 2-0 lead after the first period with a shorthanded marker. He picked up an assist on a goal by Dougie Hamilton during the second stanza to give him his first multi-point effort of the season. McGinn has one goal and three helpers during a three-game point streak.

Dougie Hamilton scored his sixth of the season in a 5-4 win over Ottawa.

It has been a tough season for the defenseman who is on his third team in the NHL and he is only 25. That doesn't happen to a ninth overall pick and there are trade rumors running rampant that he may be dealt again. Hamilton has only 14 points in 41 games this season and his minus-14 rating doesn't make a trade for the blueliner easy.

Justin Faulk scored for the first time since October 22, aiding the Hurricanes in their 5-3 win over Boston.

Faulk used to be quite the goal scorer as he averaged 16 goals a season for three years prior to the 2017-18 season. He has regressed, scoring eight goals last season and Sunday's effort was only his second this season in 35 games. Toss in eight assists and you see why Faulk is no longer fantasy relevant in most fantasy leagues.

Calvin de Haan did not practice on Wednesday after he took a high-stick on Tuesday night.

De Hann's left eye was swollen after he received six stitches above the eyeball. "His eye looked pretty bad this morning," coach Rod Brind'Amour said. "He looked a little bit like Rocky. We just decided to give him a little breather. I think he'll be fine."

Fleury was just recalled from a brief stint in the minors as he was coming back from a nine-game absence due to a concussion. He'll take Micheal Ferland's spot in the lineup who reportedly isn't feeling great, leaving the 'Canes with seven defensemen in the lineup.

Expect McElhinney to miss at least Friday's game as a result. This will lead to a call up, but the Hurricanes haven't made that move yet. McElhinney is 11-6-1 with a 2.50 GAA and .914 save percentage in 18 contests.

Petr Mrazek allowed four goals on 21 shots in Sunday’s 7-4 win over the Edmonton Oilers.

A fairly routine outing for Mrazek who had a 6-1 lead in the second period before Leon Draisaitl cut Carolina’s lead to four with 19 seconds left in the frame. The Oilers then got a couple of consolation goals in the final frame to make this one interesting. Mrazek’s record improves to 10-10-2 with a 2.80 goals-against-average and a .895 save percentage.
